Abandoned Lines and Stations

A miscellaneous collection of photos of disused stations and lines throughout East Anglia. Some of these shots were taken nearly forty years ago. Much has changed in that time, Some of the stations no longer exist having disappeared under housing estates and road improvements. Bridges and other infrastructure are disappearing at an increasing rate, although some of the Victorian architecture has been preserved.
